Materials to Make 8 Yarn Ball Pals and Basket
Lion Brand Scarfie (78% acrylic/22% wool, 5.3 oz/150 g, 312 yd/285 m) – 1 skein in 252C Blue/Cream (CA), or approximately 80 yd (73 m) in CA in any bulky weight yarn.

US Size G-4.25 mm crochet hook, or size needed to obtain gauge.
Yarn needle.
Locking stitch marker.
Fiber filling.
Safety eyes – 5-8 pairs. I used 8mm oval kawaii eyes and 6mm round safety eyes from the MUCUNNIA 528-piece set.
Gauge
Through Rnd 3 in Yarn Ball Pals pattern = 1.5” (4 cm) diameter. Exact gauge is not critical for this pattern. Stitches should be small so fiber filling doesn’t show.
Through Rnd 7 in Basket Base pattern = 3” (7.5 cm) diameter. Exact gauge is not critical for this pattern.
